Thema von InteresseReisenSchreibenFinanzen
My highest scoring group of IELTS students have received 8.0 to 8.5. Since 2016, I have specialized in both IELTS Academic and IELTS General. In addition, I have taught kids and business English lessons since 2005. I have had years of teaching in Canadian classrooms, corporate offices (for business English), and on italki. I graduated from the University of British Columbia in my hometown Vancouver and am Government of Canada certified.
In my free time, I enjoy watching news from the BBC and CBC. I like red wine and travelling to scenic, natural locations when the weather is good. And when I can, I ski at winter resorts, hike mountain trails, and sunbathe at beautiful beaches.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am an IELTS expert with thousands of hours of IELTS experience teaching in-person IELTS classes and online IELTS classes but I also teach TOEFL, TOEIC, and CELPIP, on rare occasions. I have been teaching adults and kids since 2005.
Since 2006, I have been teaching as a certified professional teacher. In physical classrooms, I have taught students from 40 to 50 countries as well as 15 to 20 countries in online classes. I have taught English to Canadian and international students aged 5 to 18 enrolled in public and private schools in British Columbia, Canada and I have 10 years experience in teaching business English to corporate employees at an international language school.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Before each class, I encourage students to prepare questions that they wish to ask so I may customize a lesson plan for each student. This is particularly useful because students have different strengths and weaknesses. What are significant challenges for some students are not for other students.

English Teacher -Sylvan Learning - Vancouver, KanadaI teach English programs to pre-university aged Canadian students enrolled in public and private schools. This enables me to keep up-to-date with developments in the British Columbia school program which continues to evolve every year.
Sammy helped me with my writing to prepare for the IELTS test. It was exactly what I needed to understand where I can improve my band score and how. Perfect! I highly recommend!
